Hey all - new and old "faces":o)

I started my new way of life on January first and I lost 7
lbs in about 7 weeks - just in time for Valentines day and
the 6 month anniversary with my boyfriend. My goal at the
time was to lose 10 lbs, to get to goal weight. But after
V-day I started a 2 month-binge-marathon. I gained it all
back plus 2 lbs. I can't explain exactly why I did this,
as I have been very succesful in weightloss before. I lost
50 lbs 3 years ago and kept it off for 2 years no problem.
But then I ran into a depression, I quit smoking for a
while and finally I met a wonderful man who enjoys good
eating and drinking as much as I do, and being completely
comfortable with him and no longer having to a be a Barbie
on the dating-market, made me gain 20 lbs since my lowest
weight (which by the way was anorexic-low). I don't want
to lose all those 20 lbs again, as I do want to look like
a woman! But 10 lbs would be nice;o)

So I started last week, and have lost two lbs so far. Ok -
8 lbs to go. My "deadline" is June 24th where my boyfriend
and I will be heading to Egypt on a great summer vacation.
(I live in Northern Europe, so it is not that far;o).

So far, I am doing OK. I have to watch what I eat at dinner-
time, and stop taking seconds and maybe just filling my
place half of what I am used to.

I lost the first 2 lbs quickly because I completely
stopped the WAY bad eating I had been used to: Danish for
breakfast, chocolate-chip cookes for snacks, chips almost
daily, and just eating what I wanted, whenever I wanted,
not really giving a [beep].

But I want to be nice-looking again. And that is why I am
once again turning to you guys. Back then, there was a
problem with my newsserver, which caused my posts not to
show up in the group, thus I could not participate. I
think that had some to do with my sudden lack of
responsibility and accountability.

My motto is: I know I can do this. I have done this before
and I can do it again. (How come it is harder to lose the
last 10 lbs, than it is to lose the 50 lbs???)

Hi Mette welcome back. The small amounts are harder to loss
because the pressure from health and wanting to look better
are less. You know what needs to be done, no do it. Try to
plan in some of the things you crave/ really like so you
don't feel deprived and want to give up. Good luck Michelle
